It’s Halloween night. Under the blue moon, gargoyles shift on the rooftop of Zala Manor as they face the ancient graveyard next door. Morbid howls rip through the darkness. Demon eyes pierce the fog. A smothering stench hovers over the cemetery. Inside the manor, costumed revelers mash and gnash to party beats at the biggest bash in all of Craggy Cove. Real monsters—a vampire count, a zombie, and a peg-legged skeleton—lurk among the crowd.And they are out for revenge. They have returned to fulfill a 300-year--old curse to destroy the Zantony bloodline and claim a lost treasure.Only 12-year-old AJ Zantony can put an end to their evil. But he needs to find the monsters first, then figure out how to stop them before the church bells toll at midnight. If he fails, not only will his family be wiped off the face of the earth, but the dead will rise from their graves and invade the quaint seaside village.Will AJ vanquish the monsters in time? Or will Craggy Cove become Zombie Central? It’s a monster battle to the death. Who will be alive when midnight tolls?A mysterious rat may hold the answer.
